Help Crystal get through 4 hard months with four children
Crystal and four children need a bridge to stability after a divorce.
🇬🇧 United Kingdom454 views
Since a divorce in July, I'm now raising four children on my own. I work as a school kitchen assistant, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as an electrician in the evenings, which will triple my income by October, but I need to bridge the gap until then.
Some weeks I skip meals so my children can eat. I have never asked anyone for help like this before, and I'm doing it for them.
Once I finish my course, I'll pay it forward.
Every cent is accounted for. I'll share a simple monthly breakdown.
Where the $2,800 goes:
• Groceries and school meals: $640
• Course fees and exam costs: $320
• Rent top-up: $1,840
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Looking forward to the next update. Greetings from New Delhi.
take care, Crystal. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. All the best
